Yer a wizard, ‘arry!

For Halloween this year, we had a bit of a theme going on: we all dressed as characters from Harry Potter.

From left to right: Hagrid, Norbert the Dragon, Harry Potter, Severus Snape, and Draco Malfoy

Aside from a couple of wizard’s duels, Halloween went more or less swimmingly.

Oliver was wearing the Gryffindor scarf I knit a few years ago, and Evelyn was wearing a brand new Slytherin scarf that Evelyn, Sara, and I have been working on lately. Evelyn would often knit in the car on the way to Billy Elliot practice, and then Sara or I would take over in the evenings.

Unfortunately, Norbert didn’t quite make it all the way through his first Halloween. Luckily, Hagrid knows about the Care of Magical Creatures!
